The other shitty thing is that a huge portion of the actual material that built the NYC skyline, much of the concrete and steel, came from (then) lilly-White Pennsylvania. Coal mined, limestone quarried, ore smelted, beams cast and extruded, by European stock. Hard, deadly work. Anytime anyone whines about how slaves built America, I remind them that the Empire State Building is not constructed of cotton.

There is no "waking up". If they went through COVID as a liberal then they are too far gone. How can you take a vaccine which didn't work and still get COVID and still force people to wear a mask of which the box clearly states that it doesn't protect against COVID?

That one is a partially untrue, old New Amsterdam (now called New York) was largely settled through the jews of the dutch East India Trading company bringing in their buddies (the British one had bylaws specifically barring jews from officership). The reason there is so many jews there is because there always was a ton of jews there.
There is a ton of interesting history around that time period too. Basically, Spain kicked jews out in 1492 (Alhambra decree), but made the classic mistake of allowing them to keep their money. Instead of leaving, jews in Spain retreated to the furthest reaches of the territory, what is now the Netherlands, and paid mercenaries to fight the Spanish for EIGHTY YEARS, until eventually Spain gave up and ceded the territory (around 1600 now). They then simply bought a competitor to the British EITC, and began running tobacco, slaves, rum, and sugar all over.
Most famously, the first settlers in New Amsterdam were literally jews delivered by the jewish traders themselves: https://jewishcurrents.org/june-3-the-dutch-east-india-company
EDIT: It was these same jews that got Americans hooked on rum and later whiskey culture, based on sugarcane that they ran into NY from the Caribbean.
There were jewish enclaves but NYC did not see the overwhelming numbers until around 1890-1910. In 1880 there were 1.2 million people in NYC but only 80,000 jews most of whom came in the last decade or two. By 1910, the city had 4.7 million people, 1.2 million of which were jews. So it went from like 3% in 1850, to 6% in 1880, to 25% in 1910.
It’s worse than the 32% shown in 2020 too, because kikes, and South Americans an,nog others are counted in there. Whites likely only make up between 5-10% of NYC now.
Same goes for all of US really
